Eric Schaen returns to HeroClix World with an all new ClixCraves! Today we're wishing for a new HeroClix set based on the G.I. Joe world. It's a rich universe full of interesting and different characters. They may not be as powerful as superheros with mutant powers, but there's lots of potential for G.I.Joe HeroClix (and Cobra HeroClix). ClixCraves is a series of articles discussing HeroClix figures we want to see in the future. Our selection criteria can be new never-before-seen figures, or it could be a request for remakes of old figures.

From Wikipedia: Duke is field commander and second-in-command of the G.I. Joe team after Hawk. In this role, he has served as a rugged leader by example, a precise giver of orders, a source of history and knowledge, and a fair settler of disputes. As the team has fluctuated in size and structure over the years, Duke has supervised the training of the non-commissioned officers in G.I. Joe, as well as leading special units such as Tiger Force and Star Brigade.

@Eric Her counter intelligence power is a lot more powerful than it looks. Prob, Perplex and Outwit are extremely important to a team and she can take away two of them from all opposing teams.

Eleborate Scemes is very fitting for Cobra Commander as he would have cameras and eyes all around a base map (which is where this power would come most in handy).

Also yay minions!

Lastly I'd be cool to see ATAs for Cobra and G.I. Joe.

IF we do another round of Joe's Flint and Beachhead are top of the list. ;)

Need a Flint dial though, he was my fav. GI Joe

I dig these dials a lot. Would love to see an actual set.

@ Eric, people who need to bring a politics into everything are the ones who are truly lame.

Ah childhood memories. In the UK they changed the name of the show/toy to "Action Force" as we have no idea what a G.I. is and presumably to get some of the business from the popular "Action Man" toys of the time (fully posable, even his eyes moved!). Did you guys have Action Man in the States/Canada too?

On topic there are some fun dials and special powers here. I want to see that "Hearts and Minds" power on the baroness as a 'thing' in clix real soon.

@Eric have you seen the way Wiz/NECA treats the femmes fatales in clix? Try to find a bad Electra/Gamora click! But yes it is odd how 'support' power figures in this sort of price range often cost more than the figs they are supporting.

Really?? Scarlett is the highest point figure? Really? More than Duke, Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes?? Is this in hopes that chicks will see this and see how progressive you are?? Lame.

Now these I would buy. I would so buy G.I. Joe clix! I love the Storm Shadow team ability!!! Good job.

in fact, the only drawback I have to these at this point is that unless WK changes "Modern Age", they would be Golden Age the moment they came out. I'm still irritated that the Yugio Starter I bought contains pieces I cannot play in regular tournaments.

I was never really sure how different and interesting WK could make a bunch of soldiers, but after seeing the Deadpool set with pieces like Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Paladin, Weasel, Outlaw, Elektra, Punisher and of course versions of Hand Ninjas, I am beginning to come around to the idea that characters like this, which on the surface feel very similar, could indeed be diverse enough to be interesting as clix.
